Wind Energy Time-Series Analysis
Processing and analysing a large wind energy dataset with Pandas and time-series methods, deployed on Azure.
PythonPandasAzureTime-series analysis
01 / Problem
Wind energy datasets are large and time-indexed, with turbine output tied closely to weather conditions over time. Getting useful analysis out of that requires handling the data volume efficiently before any modelling question can even be asked properly.
02 / Solution
Built a processing pipeline in Python and Pandas to handle the dataset at scale, then applied time-series analysis techniques to look at patterns in output over time and its relationship to weather variables, with the heavier processing run on Azure.
03 / Architecture
Pandas for large-scale data wrangling, Azure for compute where local processing wasn't practical, time-series decomposition and visualization to surface patterns in turbine output.
04 / Challenges
- TODO: describe the specific data volume / performance bottlenecks encountered and how they were addressed.
05 / Results
TODO: add the specific findings — which patterns/correlations the time-series analysis surfaced, and any visualizations worth including here.
06 / Lessons learned
Data engineering and data science aren't separate phases in practice — most of the interesting analytical decisions here were shaped by how the data had to be processed first.
Note
Some details on this page are marked TODO and still need real numbers, links, or screenshots.
